Seeing

Today’s Reflection

Love requires us to recognize and receive what is really there and to perceive how God dwells in the other. It can be difficult to abide the seeing, not because it is so challenging but because it is so wondrous.

—Jan L. Richardson, In the Sanctuary of Women: A Companion for Reflection and Prayer (Upper Room Books, 2010)
